Ep 161: 3 Procrastination Tips That Don't Work For Perfectionists


Listen Later

Procrastination is a topic that's close to many perfectionists' hearts and most of us are trying to stop the habit by following advice from others. But sometimes, there are pieces of advice that do more harm than good - especially if you have a perfectionist mindset! So in this episode, I'm sharing 3 common procrastination tips that don't work for perfectionists, why they don't work and what to do instead. I hope you find it helpful!

In This Episode You'll Learn:

  • Why blocking the internet won't help you beat procrastination long-term
  • The practical way I stop myself from getting distracted when doing deep work
  • The reason that changing your environment doesn't provide long-lasting motivation
  • How to be productive regardless of your environment
  • Why intellectually knowing that perfection isn't possible doesn't actually help

  • Episode 7: How To Stop Procrastinating
